A general residential property inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of the accessible areas of the property performed for a fee.

Visit InterNachi.org, other certification schools, or state/national guidelines for a more lengthy definition.

There are many components to pools and spas some easily visible and others needing a trained eye to see and know they exist. Above ground or in ground pools along with indoor or outdoor spas can be very fun and exciting, but also costly. A proper pool or spa inspection is highly recommended to be done when purchasing a home that has one or both present, especially for those with no background knowledge of them.

Log homes have many unique characteristics to inspect above and beyond conventionally built homes. Knowledge in log home construction, the logs themselves, and maintenance of the logs are key to a proper inspection

Inspections of manufactured & mobile homes introduce unique characteristics to inspect that don't come along with any other type of structure. Knowledge of their construction techniques and set up process is needed in addition to general inspection knowledge to achieve a proper inspection.

Moisture is the #1 enemy of a building and its components. It's crucial to investigate and address moisture intrusion concerns.
